National Union of Healthcare Workers (NUHW) has called for a work stoppage on January 31, 2012.
List of issues include:
NUHW’s 4,000 members at Kaiser will be joined by 17,000 Registered Nurses with the California Nurses Association and 650 members of the Stationary Engineers Local 39 who will be striking in sympathy with NUHW in the largest walkout in the HMO’s history.
List of issues include:
Despite record profits over the last three years of more than $5.6 billion, Kaiser management is insisting on major reductions to workers’ healthcare coverage and retirement benefits. NUHW members are committed to holding the line against these cuts, which Kaiser intends to impose upon tens of thousands more employees represented by other unions as their contracts come up for renewal over the next several years.
